Josephine Peary (Juliette Binoche) travels to the hostile North to find her lost husband, Commander Peary. She finds companionship with an Inuit woman (Rinko Kikuchi), who may have ulterior motives.

Boyd van Hoeij

The Hollywood Reporter

There are too few instances where all of the film's different elements come together to deliver any kind of visceral charge.

Guy Lodge

Variety

Though it hardly wants for sincerity or ambition, Coixet's portrait of an arduous mid-career expedition by American explorer Josephine Peary is dramatically as pallid and lifeless as the frozen tundra on which it takes place.

Sydney Morning Herald

The first half is all about getting into this position, where two women have to depend on each other. The second half is where the drama lives... but by then it's too late. Coixet has blown our goodwill.

Rated: 2/5

Mark Adams

Screen International

While blessed with an impressive double act in the form of Juliette Binoche and Rinko Kikuchi it never quite settles on enough intensity to carry its almost two hour running time.

HeyUGuys

Though evidently the point - to provoke a sense of disquiet and claustrophobia from the viewer to make for an immersive experience, conversely, it doesn't quite make for a very entertaining one, which has to count for something.

The Film Stage

Even more grinding than the plot's predictability, however, is the film's depiction of the Inuit people.

Rated: C-
